Thanks so much, Jane. I’m glad the message resonated with you. Quality over quantity has always felt like the truest path for most artists. And I agree, especially as we get older and more intentional about our work.
Thanks so much, Lisa — that means a lot. I think a small, engaged list is one of the greatest assets an artist or maker can have. When people choose to pay attention, it creates a kind of warmth and trust you just can’t manufacture.
Your approach is exactly what the article is about: tending to the people who are already leaning in. It’s a joy to build from that foundation.
Thank you for your deep insight Barney! I was chased a large audience for a long time and it felt like a very empty endeavor. I love how you said to serve the people who've already chosen to pay attention. I am doing that now and am so much more peaceful and happier. And my fans are happier too! (I know because they keep in touch and let me know!) 💝
Hi Claudette, You're most welcome. I'm glad you have discovered the benefit of choosing a pace that fits, rather than one that says, "go for it all at all costs." And that you and your fans are enjoying having things like that.
Excellent article Barney, particularly for older artists. I've always believed in quality over quantity.

Another great article, Barney. I'm sure it will resonate with many. I have a small, but engaged list, which I love.
